Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 509 - 210: Pharmacy Closes, Hospital Shuts Down!_2

Chapter 509: Chapter 210: Pharmacy Closes, Hospital Shuts Down!_2

"However... if you can adamantly refuse to explain the source of your assets, you might be sentenced to no more than five years," he said. He then detailed the differences between the two outcomes for Han Dongting.

Confess for leniency and face twice the sentence. Resist and receive a maximum of five years.

And hire a top-notch defense lawyer... you might get out in three or four years.

"So, stop calling me now, cut off all contacts and any evidence, and remember to firmly deny everything!" he warned.

He then reiterated the details, emphasizing them. One possibility was less than five years; the other was more than ten years. Any clear-headed person would know which to choose.

Fortunately, he had always used cash when paying Han Dongting. It was incredibly secretive. As long as Han Dongting kept silent, there was no way he could be implicated.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at his pharmacy again and sighed deeply.

This pharmacy...probably won’t last much longer.

After opening the pharmacy, he had come to understand the exorbitant profits of the industry. Products costing just a few dollars sold for tens of dollars each. With additional supplements... as long as the sales channel was secured, making millions a month was a breeze.

Once this crisis is over, I’ll just find another hospital to make deals with.

After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and hung up a "Temporarily Closed" sign at the entrance of the pharmacy.

「...」

「The next day.」

At the nursing home, Qin Mu was playing chess and cards with Old Zhang and others when he suddenly received a notification from the prosecutor’s office. He learned about the initiation of the investigation.

Clearly, based on his report, the prosecutor’s office had also confirmed that Han Dongting was suspected of possessing vast assets of unknown origin.

Qin Mu frowned. I just don’t know... if that pharmacy owner will be caught.

The crime Han Dongting was suspected of—possessing vast assets of unknown origin—would inevitably lead to criminal responsibility, regardless of whether he could explain their source. As for the colluding owner... if there was no evidence he offered bribes, he would not have to bear any responsibility.

"Brother Qin, I heard that Wanantang has closed. Has the owner been arrested?" Su Yongnian suddenly ran up to Qin Mu and asked excitedly.

Ever since he knew about Qin Mu’s past "achievements," he now looked at Qin Mu with a mixture of reverence and respect, always addressing him as "Brother."

Qin Mu was momentarily stunned, then shook his head. "He probably heard some rumors and closed the shop to avoid the limelight."

"It’s currently just the investigation phase. No detentions or arrests have been approved yet, which indicates the prosecutor’s office hasn’t fully grasped the specifics and hasn’t taken any coercive measures."

"Has that doctor been investigated?" Su Yongnian asked, catching on to the key words and involuntarily gasping.

Qin Mu nodded. "If nothing unexpected occurs... with the assets he illegally acquired, he’ll face at least five years in prison."

He had spent five days on it and finally found a breakthrough. This kind of report didn’t necessarily need physical evidence; either Han Dongting explained the source of his wealth, or he would go straight to jail.

"Damn, Xiao Qin handled it so fast?"

"Seeing that you didn’t take leave today, we realized something serious was going on."

"Does that mean it won’t be long before we can go to the trial?"

"Isn’t the pharmacy owner going to escape justice?"

"..."

After Zhang Qingyuan and the others heard this, they crowded around as well, their expressions excited. Their faces were filled with more joy than if they had found money.

"It’s hard to say about the pharmacy owner; we’ll have to see what the prosecutor’s investigation turns up," Qin Mu shrugged and replied.

If the act of bribery could be proven, both Han Dongting and the pharmacy owner’s sentences would likely double.

However, these were matters for professionals. He couldn’t be of much help when it came to collecting evidence.

「...」

「Meanwhile.」

At Sanhe Hospital, in the director’s office, Yu Gao sat in his chair, his face ashen. He was utterly silent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. In front of him, the Head of Human Resources kept his head down, extremely uneasy.

He had no idea what he had done wrong. The director had suddenly become like this after taking a phone call.

"Director, these lawyers...are already very reliable," the Head of HR said, swallowing hard and speaking cautiously. "If you’re really unsatisfied, I’ll contact a headhunter right away to try and bring Lawyer Zhang Wei from Legal Pioneer Law Firm to our hospital."

In Jin City’s legal circles, Zhang Wei was the lawyer who had interacted most with Qin Mu.

But Yu Gao waved his hand and sighed lightly. "Let’s hold off on hiring a lawyer for now."

"You can go now. I’m a bit overwhelmed at the moment."

After the Head of HR left, looking uneasy, the fifty-something Yu Gao clenched his fists, his face turning red with anger.

Just moments ago, someone from the prosecutor’s office had called to inform him about something. Han Dongting, from his hospital, was suspected of possessing vast assets of unknown origin and was under investigation. As a leader, he needed to personally go to the prosecutor’s office and explain the situation.

According to the prosecutor, Han Dongting owned five or six properties, a number vastly incompatible with his actual income. Their total value exceeded ten million, and it was said he had also bought a luxury car.

"These damned scoundrels, hiding so much money behind my back!"

He gritted his teeth and angrily pounded the table.

Having been the director for over a decade, he only owned two houses so far.
